WASHINGTON ― Former President Joe Biden told the top White House occupant "may God bless you and guide you" in a letter he left in the Resolute Desk of the Oval Office before his exit. The full letter, which was signed by Biden and dated Jan. 20, 2025, reads: "...As I take leave of this sacred office I wish you and your family all the best in the next four years. The American people--and the people around the world--look to this house for steadiness in the inevitable storms of history, and my prayer is that in the coming years will be a time of prosperity, peace and grace for our nation. May God bless you and guide you as He has blessed and guided our beloved country since its founding."
Biden's gesture follows a 36-year tradition of an outgoing president leaving a letter for their successor to find. --from USA TODAY.
